Cheap Parcel Delivery Official Discussion

Any

It seems that HDNL did some good deal for all the companies as Interparcel also offers them now (at the price as UPS economy before) and they are still not here even though I told them we shut at 5!!

And on the phone they had the cheek to tell me that they still do offer UPS Economy and it was my choice to use HDNL (didn't know what rubbish they are before), so I immediately went on their website again and the UPS economy is definitely not there!! I even printed the screen off.

It's to the right of the HDNL on my screen. Maybe it goes if your parcel is too large or heavy?

They're not cheap though are they. £9.99 for up to 10Kg? Which carrier do they use? You have Parcel Monkey available for £5.99+VAT for up to 10Kg. NextDay2Go are also £12.99 for up to 20Kg whereas collectmyparcel.com are £8.75 inc VAT for up to 30Kg. Just seems really expensive to me.

we need next day delivery though! collectmyparcel has a price at £8.75 for 48hours! its not next day! the nextday service cost £12.75! that is expensive.

Very true, most of ours do get there next day it's the ones further afield that take the 2 days (sometimes more), but again next day for £12.75 for 30Kg is still cheaper than NextDay2Go.

vv1 - wouldn't it be worth trying Parcel Monkey's Next Day service? I'm assuming your parcels are less than 10Kg?

It's a mystery then. Because I have the print off from the screen in front of me here and it's not there - however I cancelled Interparcel and booked with Parcel2Go and they did offer me UPS?? So it can't be too big to send with them... And I sent it with them before. The biggest box is always around 15kg mark.

Real mystery. But just when I don't need it. It has shopping of holiday clothes for my friend from abroad in and she is going next week!! The truck is leaving UK tomorrow and it needs to be at the truck depot then. Truck only goes once a week:eek: Any other time it wouldn't matter:mad:

Any idea who is the cheapest for international delivery so I would be able to send it straight there? It's Czech Republic I am sending it to.

What's the dimensions and weight?

Hi everyone
I was hoping you could help me with this.
I have just booked a citylink collection for tomorrow, do they bring their own barcode labels as I haven't been sent one through, just an address label to put on top?
Thanks

There should be a city link reference too, mine always start MBG then numbers.

Yep there is one of them.
Does the driver put a label on as well?

macfly

The driver uses that to start the tracking process, so it's vital. Don't think he puts anything else on the parcel
